Thanks for your time and comments. However. did you observe this or is it just me?
[1] It's a cloudy day.
I did indeed note the high cloud ceiling, and that actually was nagging me when I first saw the footage to discard the possibility of it being a space
rock. For something of that size (dozens of feet in diameter) to make that kind display on re-entry, over several minutes, it'd have to be like 40+
MILES above the earth. For context, I went back and looked up the appx. altitude
Columbia shuttle was at during break up, and things started
to go sideways at around 40 miles up, when the multiple fireballs and brilliant lights were visible over Texas.
So if it had been an atmospheric entry or partial entry, the clouds would have to be HIGHER than the object, as depicted in the film, and there are no
clouds I'm aware of that form 50+ miles above the Earth, as that is getting past the
upper reaches of
our atmosphere

[2] How many commercial airliners or military fly at that angle.
Just sayin.
Like Zaphod said, and this is what made me reconsider what I was seeing, the camera+observer are right around 6o'clock to the plane, watching it move
away. It's an optical illusion; you are not watching an object plunge down to Earth at at 30-40 degree angle. It's moving AWAY from the camera, not
crossing the horizon from right to left.
Give it a look a few times and you'll see it.
It's sill a cool video, even if it doesn't portray what we (or at least I) originally thought.
